COOKIE TIME!!! Mint Kissed Meringues

Alright! I am so excited to begin my cookie baking. I absolutely love baking when I have the time. This morning while the girls were taking their nap I quick made these beauties. They were very easy and very tasty. I found the recipe in a Pillsbury Holiday Cookie book that I had on my shelf.

Mint Kissed Meringues

Ingredients:

2 Egg whites
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. mint extract
3-5 drops of green food coloring
Mulitcolored sprinkles

Method:

1) Heat oven to 200 degrees.

2) Grease 2 large cookie sheets.

3) In small bowl mix egg whites, cream of tartar and salt; beat at medium speed until foamy. Increase speed to high; add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, beating meringue is very stiff and glossy and sugar is disolved. Fold in green food coloring, to your desired color.

4) Use ziplock bag and cut the tip off one corner and pipe meringue into 1-inch puffs onto greased cookie sheets.

5) Sprinkle each with candly sprinkles.



6) Place cookie sheets on center rack in oven and bake for 2 hours. Immediately remove cookies from cookie sheets and place on wire racks. Cool 5 minutes or until completely cold.

I got about 3 dozen out of 1 recipe.
